Smart Fields
Smart Fields are placeholders shown in double brackets, such as {{LOCATION}} or {{CODE}}. These fields are automatically filled with live data from Inlet, so each message reflects the actual booking details.
Examples of Smart Fields:
-
{{LOCATION}}→ Name of the location (e.g. “Lake Sauna”) -
{{CHECKIN}}/{{CHECKOUT}}→ Start and end times of the booking -
{{CODE}}→ PIN code for access -
{{LOCK}}→ Lock name (e.g. “Locker 102”) -
{{LOCKS}}→ Up to 4 lock names in the same lock group -
{{LOCATION_DESCRIPTION}}→ Location description from the portal -
{{CUSTOM_FIELD_1}}→ Custom text field stored at the lock level
When the message is sent, Smart Fields are replaced with actual data.
Template:
“Thank you for your booking at {{LOCATION}}! Your code is {{CODE}}.”
Message sent:
“Thank you for your booking at Lake Sauna! Your code is 8452.
